Clear and cold here this morning...temp's somewhere around the high 20's F. Considering
the weather we've had over the past couple weeks, I feel lucky.

Morning everybody

 

[newnan man]

Good morning everyone. Mid 60's this morning but we are supposed to cool down the next few days. We've had mid 70's all last week but now low 60's are forecast for the highs. To me that's cold! My small mango tree is in full bloom.

🥶

Mornin all.

Wind ripped all night and continues. Big oaks doing the hula and gyrating.
Gusts up to 55 predicted on last nights forecasts.
Snow of course .
Squirrels and birds being ambitious after sleeping in . Or more likely holding on tight in the winds all night.
Get some food in their bellies before seeking cover again.
Several inches of snow riding the wind in places before it ends . We have had a little more than an inch so far .As if it could be measured as it blows.

Trash service called to announce a two hour delay for some reason.
I wasn't expecting them more than Monday.

We'll go to vet later probably.

Power out to the south and to the north of us.
Got notice from the storm centre we were without power
We have power
The sanding truck backed down the hill (2mph) spreading sand, started to slide, just before the driveway, took off spinning.
Chicken $hit, It was just getting interesting, had the camera out ready to video the slide.
Started to hear the trees and limbs crashing when the wind picked up-then the rain took the ice down off the trees mostly.
Looks like we might of dodged another one.

Morning gang. Hang on to yer hats boys and girls. Looking hard at this correction.

 

[pepperj]

Silver had a bit of a correction, totally expected as they're printing $$$ fast, and throwing paper at the price.
Physical metal will win over paper.
Printing $$$ good luck

Silver is still up 4.75% for the week
Gold 2.8% for the month

 

[beepbleep]

I'll always be up %. It's hard to buy at those record prices though.

Just look at palladium and platinum taking a beating after their recent highs. ouch, glad I've never ventured there.

There's a couple of gold coins up for auction. Closing is tonight.
I have a feeling the bidding fear took over the brain. The Krugerrand is $550 higher than what they could sell it for.
